Updated September 2021

Starting September 1, 2021, we transitioned from the Behavioral Medical Management Program to the Behavioral Administrative Guidelines as referenced above. Any agreement or document that references the Medical Management Program (MMP), the Provider Guide, the Provider Manual, or the Provider Administrative Guidelines shall be construed to reference this document: the Behavioral Administrative Guidelines.

The Behavioral Medical Management Program guide is still available for regulatory and reference purposes and may be downloaded and/or printed for your records.
